We were married in 2019 and the Chincoteague Center went above and beyond to help me get our big day together. From hanging our lanterns from the cieling to placing our tables in t...
he exact places we wanted them, they had a hand in helping with all of the stuff I did not want to deal with. They also reminded me of EVERYTHING that I had no idea I needed! Like liquor licenses and table clothes! For the service and space you get at the Chincoteague Center you really are getting a great price for a perfectly located venue. If I ever need to plan another large event, this will be my go to place.
